Fingerprint People

I started this 'hobby' when I was 17 and I'm now about to hit the big 30 so I wondered if the hobby could be turned into 'something' else! I make the simplest of greeting cards. The designs are simple and there's no message so they can adapt to pretty much anything. I hope you like them :)

Haha! Yes they are my fingerprint. I use stamp ink so I'm not walking around with a rainbow colored set of fingers! I haven't approached any craft shows yet, mainly because I can't afford to but in the future I hope to. Thanks for letting me share these. I really appreciate your comments :)

Welcome!

This blog exists so we can exchange homemade card ideas. Please include labels when you post! Here are a few ideas, but feel free to make up your own: Christmas, birthday, stamps, eyelets, stickers, tri-fold, brads, ribbon, simple, etc.Leave a comment with your email if you'd like to be a contributor to this blog!

I wanted to share my blog "creation story." I was great at creating and stashing cards away, but my friends made fun of my hoarding. I never sent the cards! I was afraid that I could never recreate the hard-earned ideas. I began photographing cards and eventually created this blog, which allows all of us to have a record of what we have created. The title of the blog applies to me and probably no one else who posts on here...but as much as I've tried to come up with a new title, this one stuck. I'm so grateful to all of you for contributing and following this blog!!
